I just had my OEM C55 rims completely redone. Trued, powder coated, perfect, not so much as a pin hole, You could eat off of them.




Since my OCD will not allow any future scratches, I am going to remove and replace them with something else aftermarket, as I need new tires anyway so now is a good time.

Any good suggestions for aftermarket rims?

I want to keep as close to the stock staggered set up as possible, 18" x 8" or 8.5" on front with a 30 ET , give or take, and 18" x 9" or 9.5"on the rear with a 34 ET, etc.

I would prefer something silver, brushed or polished. No chrome, nothing black.

Will run 225/40/18's on front and 255/35/18"s on back for tires. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, FYI.

I don't want to run spacers. I want to be close in my OEM offset and I don't want anything too heavy for rims.

I looked through a bunch of threads here on the OEM rim weight for 18" C55 rims and it appears to be between 26-28
lbs per rim, so I would like to keep the aftermarket ones under that if possible, say 24-25 lbs?

Already looked through the vendor/sponsor section here and browsed eBay and other MB wheel vendors briefly,, but would welcome any suggestions forum members might have.

I have seen pix of the C55 with a CLS rim which I think looks great but if anyone has other opinions please let me know.

Price in not an issue, but I don't want to get anything crazy $$$ like HRE's as my OCD will punish me, but I will pop some $ for a good set.

I plan to keep the stock rims, they are NOT for sale.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Why in the Holy Hell would you say $1,200.00/wheel is reasonable. Especially on a car pushing 13-14 years old? Jesus H. SMH.

This was on my car when I bought it. If I had to get another set it would be the five spoke OEM concave CLS wheels (smaller pic below)
